International Web Sites:

This Virtual Community began as a simple, personal list of U.S. diversity-related Internet resources, now expanded to include some international links. For those of us far from home, it is a means of keeping in touch with our communities. It is also a good place to begin learning about others, different than us. For resources dealing with U.S. racial & ethnic diversity, visit the Diversity & Ethnic Studies: Virtual Community home page.

African Resources

  • The Univ. of Pennsylvania's authoritative African Studies WWW leads to a wealth of African and pan-African research materials, including country-specific pages, information on the African Studies Association, and extensive lists of Black/African Internet resources. See also History of Southern Africa an electronic research guide I compiled that points to numerous research tools available to ISU students and on the Internet.

    Asian Resources

  • The CERN/ASU Asian Studies WWW Virtual Library (includes areas of the former Soviet Union, the Middle East, and Turkey) provides very thorough coverage of numerous (if not all) Asian countries, listing Internet resources and information, and seemingly endless links.

    European Resources

  • Check out the Virtual Tourist II, listed below.

    Latin American & Caribbean Resources

  • UT-Lanic
    • (the University of Texas at Austin's Latin American Network Information Center) leads to a wealth of scholarly information concerning all of Latin America and the Caribbean. Daily electronic editions of some Latin American newspapers are available; coverage is especially good for Mexico. Librarian Molly Molloy's authoritative bibliography (netography?) of Latin American Internet resources is also accessible here. Also check out the Hispanic/Latino Telaraņa for more recreational Latin American links. See also the brand new Handbook of Latin American Studies, now available and searchable on its own website!

    Middle Eastern Resources

  • The Middle East Resource Center has apparently taken down its entire Web site, "passing the torch on to others with more energy"! The Middle East Resources page of the CERN/ASU Asian Studies WWW Virtual Library might be a reasonable substitute.

    • Still more places

  • Haven't found home yet? Then visit the Virtual Tourist II, where a simple click of your mouse will take you just about anywhere. Remember, there's no place like home.
